What is "Let's Grab Coffee!"... ?

Oh, hello!

I'm Zork, a humble servant of this community that our fearless leader Lady @Eilis created long before I stumbled upon the scene.

Imzy encourages leaders to create official "WELCOME" posts for their communities -- but as some communities grow and new folks arrive, I think it can help to periodically Re-Welcome people to the community. I imagine it might be slightly overwhelming for newcomers not familiar with the "culture" of a community.

Particularly a community like LGC since we are not defined by the shared love of a single band, or a single television show, or a single film genre, or pictures of animals who think they're people.

LGC is many things to many people. A place to share art. A place to share stories. A place to share passions. A place to talk about the world we live in, and life in general.

A place to vent. A place to seek solace.

A place where you should feel free to be silly.

A place where you should feel free to be serious.

But perhaps most importantly, a place to love baby velociraptors that stay babies.

As LGC grows, it is constantly finding its voice. It is constantly evolving as new voices join the scene.

This Is Not A Mission Statement.

This is me, as a contributing leader of the community, stating what LGC means to me.

"Let's Grab Coffee!" is a community dedicated to trying to build a community. An inviting coffee shop with enough tables for everyone to have a seat. A community built on empathy and compassion and respecting other people. A sanctuary from the occasional brutality of the world out there.

We're human. (Mostly.) We try a lot of things and some things may work and some things may not, but we're going to keep working on making this a place you'll want to return to.

It's Friday morning as I'm writing this. I am looking forward to the weekend! I don't have any huge plans, but I love having time to focus on personal creative projects. And, inevitably, I'll be present on LGC. I hope to see you here.

Your virtua-friend, ZORK.
